Scared To Get Happy? is a box set devoted to the 1980s Indie guitar pop revolution which swept across the British Isles. From the post-punk scene and Postcard Records through the explosion of bands celebrated by the NME on their famous C86 cassette through to perhaps the ultimate distillation of the scene, Sarah Records, Scared To Get Happy? celebrates a golden era.

Creation acts on the album include Revolving Paint Dream, Primal Scream, The Jasmine Minks, The Telescopes, The Bodines, The House of Love, The Loft, The Boo Radleys and Biff Bang Pow! The tracklisting is below:
